A day in Champagne, from Reims to Épernay

Your chauffeur drives you from Paris to Reims on the A4 motorway, about 144 km, then from one champagne house to the next. Your chauffeur can continue to Épernay and its Avenue de Champagne, waits for you during your visits and lunches, and drives you back to Paris in the evening: you enjoy the tastings without having to drive.

Visits to the champagne houses are booked in advance, directly with the houses: the Reims Tourist Office considers booking ahead essential, as they are in great demand in high season. We arrange the transport and the waiting time; the visits and tastings are the ones you book yourself.

A little history

Notre-Dame Cathedral in Reims, whose foundation stone was laid on 6 May 1211, is where the kings of France were crowned: according to UNESCO, it hosted twenty-five coronations, and from 1027 every king was crowned there, with the exception of Louis VI and Henry IV. Together with the former Abbey of Saint-Remi and the Palace of Tau, where the king slept and feasted after the ceremony, it forms an ensemble inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1991.

On 4 July 2015, UNESCO also inscribed the “Champagne Hillsides, Houses and Cellars”: the historic vineyards of Hautvillers, Aÿ and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, the Saint-Nicaise hill in Reims, and the Avenue de Champagne with Fort Chabrol in Épernay. Straight and 1.5 km long, this avenue saw the first champagne trading houses settle there in the eighteenth century; beneath its houses and mansions lie around a hundred kilometres of cellars dug into the chalk.
